Conditioned Game I

Organization

20x40 Area set up as shown

5x20 Receiving Zone set up as shown

8 players (4 attackers & 4 defenders)

Four Mini Goals: two goal at either ends in corners

4 v 4 inside playing area: 2 v 2 at either end

1 ball (additional around outside)

Activity

- When a team is in possession, one of their players (without the ball) can drop into the receiving zone

- Player who drops into receiving zone cannot be tracked/tackled & must try to play forward

- Once a team scores at one end, they get possession again & attack the opposite end

Progression

1. Defender can track attacker into the receiving zone

2. Attacker who passes into receiving zone can follow & support to create a 3v2 overload - they must return if attack breaks down or goal is scored.

3. Attacker in end zone can take 1st touch & dribble into Receiving Zone (only when team mate drops in to show forthe ball) to create a 3v2 overload - they must return if attack breaks down or goal is scored.

Coaching Points

- Awareness of Space & Surroundings: Check & Snapshot over shoulder.

- Movement to create space - can you pull & drag defender out of position?
